Last fall I parked in the lot at Lowes and a German guy, about 80 years old walked over to my VS and said "that's a beautiful car". He added that he hadn't seen very many Speedsters "since he built them in Stuttgart, Germany" back in 1957. I was speechless and put it off that he had gone blind in his old age. I told him that it was a replica built in Southern California and that it was just 11 years old. He simply said, "well, it is a beautiful car". His age and thick German accent told me he was legit. Now that there is a weird story---but 100% true. I felt he truly admired the car.

I guess I have been lucky that never once have I been snubbed in an y way by a metal Porsche owner. I feel a little twinge whenever I win a "best of Show" trophy at car show---but only a very small twinge. And there have been a metal Speedster owners showing at a couple of these shows too.

Just a 100% true, fun story with no real object lesson.
